Hmm vi was the first editor I learned but then I was picoed/nanotized and I 
just can't
bring myself to switch back. Vi and vi like editors are great but I never 
need the
advanced features and for when I do I ussualy resort to some X editor...

Just some input from me...

For all the knowledge...
I will prevail...
If I fail nothing is left...
All is lost...
Never to be seen again...
Nevermore...
